ASTM International Standard Test Method for Bond Strength of Mortar to Masonry Units ASTM C952-02e1

1.1 This test method provides two procedures for measuring bond strength of mortar to masonry units: a crossed brick couplet tensile test for evaluating mortar-brick bonding and a stacked-bond, flexural test for evaluating mortar-concrete block bonding. 1.2 This standard does not purport to address the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
